AMSTERDAM, November 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Gebundelde krachten zorgen voor wereldwijde omnichannel oplossing 

SEOshop, het snelst groeiende e-commerce platform in Europa, kondigt vandaag haar overname aan door het Canadese software bedrijf Lightspeed POS. Lightspeed levert een krachtig Point of Sale (POS) platform voor winkels en restaurants. Samen met SEOshop stellen zij winkeliers in staat klanten zowel instore als online van dienst te zijn.

SEOshop bedient momenteel meer dan 8.000 Europese webshops, waaronder die van vooraanstaande merken zoals Heineken, Philips Lighting, National Geographic Nederland en het Van Gogh Museum. Het bedrijf heeft de afgelopen drie jaar telkens haar winst verdubbeld, met een groei van meer dan 1000 procent tussen 2011 en 2014. CEO Ruud Stelder zal zijn werkzaamheden voortzetten als Director of Global eCommerce Revenue bij Lightspeed, samen met CTO Dennis Cuijpers, die Director eCommerce Development and Architecture zal worden.

Deze overname zorgt voor een sterke combinatie van e-commerce en instore technologieën met onder anderen makkelijk te gebruiken tools voor het managen van inventaris, het maken van analyses en gedetailleerde rapportages. Verder biedt het een volledig gepersonaliseerde webwinkel en een uitstekende winkel-ervaring.

"We zijn ontzettend trots op de overname door Lightspeed POS," zegt Ruud Stelder, CEO van SEOshop. "Zowel de klanten van Lightspeed als onze eigen klanten profiteren van de overname. SEOshop klanten krijgen toegang tot de mogelijkheden van de mobiele Point of Sale oplossingen van Lightspeed en klanten van Lightspeed kunnen gebruik gaan maken van ons e-commerce platform. Door de overname kunnen verkopers wereldwijd zowel online als offline via één platform hun klanten bedienen."

In september 2015 kondigde Lightspeed een investering aan van US$61 miljoen. Met de overname van SEOshop ondersteunt het bedrijf nu 34.000 retailers in meer dan 100 landen, goed voor jaarlijks US$12 miljard aan transacties.

"Het is een enorme stap in de evolutie van ons bedrijf. We zijn ooit begonnen met de visie om onafhankelijke retailers te ondersteunen door hen een POS aan te bieden met dezelfde backoffice functionaliteit zoals je die bij grote retailers ziet, maar dan gebruiksvriendelijker en aangepast voor mobiel gebruik," zegt Dax Dasilva, CEO van Lightspeed POS. "Met de razendsnelle digitalisering van de industrie is er veel vraag naar online verkoopoplossingen. Door SEOshop binnen de Lightspeed-familie op te nemen, bieden we winkeleigenaren een schaalbaar product om hun goederen nog efficiënter te kunnen verkopen, ongeacht hoe hun klanten willen winkelen."

"SEOshop is met haar robuuste, meertalige platform een perfecte fit met onze internationale focus. Ze maken het internationale beheer van onze webshops gemakkelijk en we zijn er zeker van dat onze data, en die van onze klanten, in goede handen is." zegt Michael Wantens, Marketing Manager van Philips Lighting. "We zien met de toegang tot Lightspeed technologie de kans om onze internationale omnichannel aanwezigheid te groeien en een sterke internationale reputatie op te bouwen. Door de overname zijn we in staat om de e-commerce oplossing die wij kennen en vertrouwen te behouden, terwijl we tevens een platform krijgen die toekomstige internationale groei mogelijk maakt."

"Voor een gevestigd merk als National Geographic Nederland biedt het eenvoudige en onderhoudsvrije platform van SEOshop een uitkomst voor onze e-commerce wensen. We versterken er ons merk mee, het verzorgt de online marketing en uiteraard biedt het een uitkomst voor onze klanten. SEOshop voorziet ons ook in uitstekende SEO optimalisatie. Nu SEOshop en Lightspeed hun krachten bundelen zien we nog meer mogelijkheden omnichannel te groeien, zowel online als offline," zegt Liska Koekoek, Manager Digital Marketing en E-commerce bij National Geographic Nederland.
